I have not understood anything my physics teacher was telling during online classes but this video has helped me immensely. You have a new subsriber

[cherrybombb]

I've said it once, I'll say it again, Cognito is the BEST at explaining! I literally look forward to writing my science notes cuz it means I'll be able to watch your videos and have you explain the concepts to me. Thank you so much!

[miamcallen]

My physics paper 1 is tomorrow and i'm relearning so much of the course. thank you so much for your videos

[amirael-masri]

I literally don't understand anything my teacher says in school however, when I watch his videos I understand the topic so easily and I don't find it as hard as when the teachers teach it. you are truly amazing.

I honestly think that people are getting less and less grateful nowadays. This channel has do e do much for so many of us. He is so helpful and dedicates so much of his time to us. Most of us cant even click a button to support all his work. Keep the Good work up Sir. Your changing lives out here. Big up.

I've been sick all week and the first thing I have on my birthday is a chemistry test that I don't know the topics to. You're my life saver

[juliannagroenhof]

So helpful!! Wonderful job at explaining, as I learned lots :)

[tech-with-zaid]

I think my school will fire my core subjects teachers and hire Cognito's videos, that too all for free, cuz thats just how good he explains the concept. You for sure got a new subscriber! Thanks a lot! :)
